Shootouts

Concrete, jungle.

I looked up at his ceiling and sighed , I had been here all day long doing absolutely nothing. Just like I had yesterday and the day before. I think I've been here for two weeks now and I guess I was adjusting, no school. No phone. No laptop , just wall and Nas made it very clear to me not to wander.

"Fuck it" I said getting off of his bed, it was so fucking big for no reason. Nobody slept that bad then again I've been told I'm small , I slid on some pants  and walked out his room and down to the first floor to see jungle. By now I knew he was his little brother and boy did they act like brothers. "Oh he don't got you chained to his bed ?" He said not looking up from his game. "Why would he do that?" I asked him innocently "that would be no fun for him I have a dick" I said walking past him. He spit his juice out and stood up staring at me "relax jungle." I said laughing at his reaction "I am all woman and your brother is not having sex with me." I rolled my eyes. "Right y'all just sleep in the same bed. Every night" he said sarcastically "don't you think you'd hear something if we were fucking, because I can hear you from your room so it can't be that hard" I shot back as he followed me into the kitchen.

"Alright don't do that scolding shit you be doing you remind me of my moms" he said , I only smirked having heard that from the both of them every time I got mad.  "So I've heard" I said opening their fridge "I just never seen my brother around a girl that he wasn't fucking" he admitted to me. "Well take a  good look because your brother is never getting anywhere near being inside me " I told him closing the fridge. 

" I don't believe you"

"Nigga just b-"

"Nah nah kill that shit what I meant was he randomly brings you home moves you in to our private home instead of one of our spots where we usually put everyone. Got you in his damn room took you shopping and on top of that he lets you mouth off to him 24/7 " he started to explain going through the cupboards I couldn't reach. "So.." I asked wanting to see where he was going with this.

"I think my big headed ass brother likes you" he told me sitting down next to me. I couldn't hold in my laughter after he said that soon he started laughing too "I'm serious, I ain't say he was in love but I think he too lenient to not have some type a crush. " he explained.
"Or maybe he just wanted to be entertained jungle. You really think he needed to 'protect me' ? I think he's just bored. I can't stay here forever like a little pet it's not like he actually kidnapped me. If I knew how to get home by now I would have went. I just like New York. " I told him, he trusted me to stay put but in reality the only reason I hadn't budged was the fact that I had no passport or money to leave.

" well actually as incompetent as he is with your kidnapping he is keeping you out of harms way. Dennis is messy , if he makes one mistake he tries to kill everyone involved just to start over , in guessing he felt heroic for a night " he explained to me. So Nas was actually doing something for me, interesting. But I don't owe him anything. Nobody told him to walk in during my shift knowing there was a target on his back.

"There's nothing here to eat" I said to him rubbing my stomach. The wait for Nas game and grown boring , I wonder if I could convince him to get me a phone. "I know. We could get fake out " he offered "no. You guys eat too much junk, can you take me to a supermarket for ingredients " I asked him eating a grape.

"What y'all doing" Nas said walking in, he was in an all read track shit and as usual his one round chain. "Im hungry " I told him as he walked up to me "where you wanna go?" He asked. " I don't wanna go out I want to cook" I told him , he looked over at jungle then back to me. "Oh." Was all he said poking my stomach "I see" he said turning to his fridge , I know he didn't just try and call me fat. I stood up not giving him the satisfaction and went back upstairs to what I guess was our room.
